New Hands:Tulips

Do you remember Hamilton
based electro rock band,New Hands? They've recently been featured
in Southern Souls, which was produced by Mitch Fillion and captures
live performances of local artists. I've been fond of his project for the last
few years as he naturally grasps the live performance so
transparently that I feel as if a band in the video were performing in front of
me in my backyard.

This performance captures
two tracks- their first single off their debut album, Tulips and
another tune off the album, Whichever Way You'll Have, This
video gives the listener the ability to see through the lenses of the
camera. Tulip kicks off with galvanizing synth beats with dulcet electro
tunes. Once the luring beats started repeating in the head while toe-topping
with the tune, the deep voice of Spence Newell jumps in the mingle
of rhythmic beats. Gradually escalated its tune to the chorus,
the emotive shout leaves a scar with impulsing hooks. I feel like I
am totally missing out the fact that I haven't seen these guys in live by
watching this video.

You can download the copy
of this song, Tulip via their bandcamp site.

TulipsI told you it’s not easy, this movement can change you Packages and poisons picked say that you are leaving Scared that growth is bad for him, thinks it will estrange us So like someone always says, we just need to focus

Take me to my first school dance, show me your apartment Shake your head and hold my hand, say I’m still important Make a name just as we land, all the papers calling This idea could have been, but we never focused

Say you’re upset that I’m leaving Don’t ever compare me with him

Leave me don’t say you’ll carry me home

I wanted him to remind me of you I wanted you to love what we’d become Don’t tell me lying wasn’t the best course It was an ugly thing that kept you from leaving
